| Open Access | ENHANCING PHYSICAL ACTIVITY DETECTION THROUGH WII REMOTE SENSORS
Mahmood Feroz Khan , University of Bremen TZi, Bremen, GermanyAbstract
The increasing interest in health and fitness has driven the need for innovative solutions to monitor and analyze physical activity. This study explores the use of Wii Remote sensors as a tool for enhancing physical activity detection. Leveraging the motion-sensing technology embedded in Wii Remotes, this research investigates how these sensors can accurately capture and classify various physical activities. The methodology involves setting up the Wii Remote to collect data on movement patterns and integrating it with algorithms designed to recognize and interpret different forms of exercise. Results demonstrate that Wii Remote sensors can effectively distinguish between activities such as walking, running, and jumping, offering a cost-effective alternative to traditional fitness tracking devices. The findings suggest that Wii Remote technology holds promise for improving physical activity monitoring and can be a valuable asset in both personal fitness and clinical settings.
